We needed an estimate on a heater and water heater replacement and Dave was fast, efficient, and responsive. He gives competitive estimates and also follows up after to see how things are going. That's top quality customer service that has earned my trust. It's no wonder they have such a great reputation. Thank you Dave! read more

I highly recommend Distinct Plumbing! The water flow from our kitchen faucet had been slowing down considerably. In a very short time, Distinct set up an appointment, identified the issue and fixed it. Transparent and quick - I would definitely call again. read more

Kumar came to our home after we were having trouble with our garbage disposal and fixed it in no time! A+ service all around.

Amazing plumber. Do not hesitate to hire. They will get the job done in a timely manner and for a reasonable price.

Kumar was very helpful and did great job installing my sum pump. He was friendly and very knowledgeable.

These guys are getting all my future work because I trust them. They are the second ones that I called. They walked me through some troubleshooting on the phone and then referred me to the manufacturer who was able to walk me through how to fix it without having anyone come. The initial plumber that I called told me that he would charge me for just looking at it. He said it would be $275 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour. He did not ask me anything about the condition of my water heater before quoting the price. Even when I asked him how much he charged, he hesitated and then started stuttering before he gave me the price. read more

Had good communication with District Plumbing on doing a job on our house . very genuine person I can see why they are a Five star rating on yelp ...... thank you for the follow up call ..... d read more

We highly recommend Kumar for your plumbing needs. We needed a dishwasher installed and were tight on time. He came out on a Friday and found out we needed an additional part for installation. He returned on Sunday for the installation. He is professional, competent and efficient. We were very pleased with his work. read more

Ramesh arrived when he said he would, estimate was spot on. He even called the next day to make sure everything was OK

A year or two ago, I contacted distinct plumbing with a pretty urgent clogging issue (bathroom sink; I was supposed to leave town the next day, and a petsitter was due to stay). They managed to find someone who could come asap; he worked incredibly hard for a couple of hours to solve the issue without interfering with the piping, which would have cost way more and taken longer. He was professional, kind, and took time to walk me through everything he did. Recently I contacted distinct plumbing again - a job a different plumber had done 2 years back was already starting to fail, and the original plumber hadn't been responding. Distinct jumped right into problem solving over text, for free, on a Sunday, to see if I could resolve on my own. Ultimately a replacement was needed; the original plumber finally responded and was able to remedy at a discount, so I didn't bring in distinct plumbing. However, I was so impressed with how fast they responded (on a Sunday!) and how much time they spent with me despite no guarantee of contracted work. Distinct remains my top choice plumber for both of these experiences. read more

Kumar is worth many times his weight in gold. He is brilliant, patient, and interested in the work. Kumar came to our home twice and solved two problems for us, after other major companies could not. He is thoughtful and analytical. He identified the faulty part. He pointed out how we could request a free replacement for the faulty part, and this solved the longstanding problem. In another case, he spent a great deal of time testing and figuring out the issue, and solved it. Another time he came, he reviewed the issue; he gave his advice; and he referred us to someone else to carry it all out. No charge. I tried to pay him for his time, but he declined. And just today, he worked with me by phone and texting photos and found the very simple solution (the pump had no power - a fuse was tripped). Again, no charge. read more

Update: after my bad review, the owner calls me 3 times like a psycho and I don't answer and I block his number. WHY BECAUSE HE DOESN'T LIKE MY REVIEW?? Didn't think I would need a restraining order after looking for a PLUMBER. (Also he never mentioned anything about a free quote and all that fake stuff he said in his response.) He just got caught trying to take me a sucker but i reviewed him. Called up this outfit for a very straightforward job. The person who answered the phone whose number is on this page, told me that it would require someone coming out to take a look at it before quoting the price. Ran this by my tradesmen friends and they confirmed that this sounded like a con to them. And I would agree that any exceptions to the straightforward nature of this job could be answered with some follow up questions or one photo, if even needed. Is it because a woman called you for a plumbing job? I know the trades people are sitting high and mighty these days with the economy and building but that doesn't give you an excuse to try to take advantage of women and people in general. Pass. read more

Distinct Plumbing Heating & Gas Fitting - Plumbing Near Me

Very knowledgeable and thorough. Responded to text right away and showed up within a couple of hours. Prices were reasonable. He takes the time to ensure the problem is completely fixed and no other issues remain. Also gave some useful tips for simple DIYs around the house. read more

This is exceptional service, which is honest, timely, and comes at a great value. No hidden costs, and a complete clarity on what work is needed and what work will be done (so no upsell or oversell, no hidden fees), and mostly importantly when it will be done. Kumar was absolutely punctual, completely honest, thorough and with a fair price. Cannot recommend him more!! read more

I had a disposal gone bad, leaking all over and Kumar texted me back immediately and the next day, came over with a new disposal and within an hour - he was done. Additionally, he drove all over to find the 3/4 horsepower model that would replace what I have. He gave me a clear estimate on costs, what was needed and I will absolutely be keeping the number for Distinct Plumbing for any future needs. Very pleased! read more

Kumar has helped us with last-minute plumbing fixes and scheduled improvements to our home's plumbing and gas, and he's done excellent work every time. He's responsive, knowledgeable, and always talks us through options and costs for the different approaches on bigger projects, which has been great for our budget. If you need a reliable plumbing service, we can highly recommend Kumar and his team! read more

After the recent below 0 temps hit Boston my water pipes froze and burst. Kumar was a very clear communicator who gave an estimate of when he could come to my place to look at the situation and quickly diagnosed and fixed the burst pipe. Following his service, I had a few other follow-up questions which he was able to kindly (and quickly) make time to answer which was extremely helpful and gave me some more peace of mind with our situation. A previous time, our water heater broke and Kumar was very quick to arrive and resolve the issue. He got the supplies and fixed the issue expeditiously and at a reasonable cost. He also pointed out and identified future potential issues and helped point us in the right direction to ensure we took care of that as well (clogged chimney). This is the 3rd time I've hired Kumar to do work at our place and I know I will be going back to him for any future issues I have. read more

Responsive, easy to schedule, and easy to work with. (Steam boiler was not working.) Very clear communicator: explains up front what the possible issues are, what diagnostics he's doing, what needs to be done now (vs. future), and pricing. Answers all questions respectfully and clearly. Would hire again. read more

Our Navien tankless water heater was up for its yearly maintenance and descaling. Kumar was responsive to my questions for quotes and planned work. Once I decided to go with him, he communicated very well his arrival window and the time needed to do the work. On the day, he came on time, and did the work quickly and efficiently. He also went over the heating system with me, showing me how it worked, where we could improve overall safety of the system, and what steps he would go through to do the descaling and maintenance. Great value! I would have no hesitation in using him again for any future plumbing jobs. read more

Was helpful in identifying the problem but not so much at fixing anything. Good people to call out for small jobs (or jobs that could be small) but don't really have the capacity to handle bigger ones. read more

Kumar has been fantastic with his service - super quick and gets the job done really well. Highly recommend!

Kumar is a genius at this...he's very quick and efficient and a great communicator. He came out on a Saturday to install a new faucet and plumbing for us. He texted all of the details and the estimates were accurate to the end. If you have any size job of any complexity, Kumar can figure it out. It's worth noting we had another plumber come out here before Kumar who got extremely stressed out and couldn't figure out how to handle installing our faucet with the new sink which had a lower depth, meaning the plumbing had to be re-routed. Kumar came over and he had no problem with it at all. He had all of the right tools and was able to finish in less than 2 hours. He even gave us a recommendation for an electrician to follow up with. Highest recommendation. read more

Kumar came to my house for a gas stove disconnect. But while he was on site, he also found and repaired three gas leaks we never would have known about if not for his careful eye. We definitely will be using Distinct plumbing again. read more

Kumar (Distinct Plumbing) was prompt in assessing our piping situation. He was able to replace our old main shut off valve and broken pressure sensors, and update other plumbing within the week. Most importantly, I appreciated that he was transparent in what we needed - why it was needed - and what he was doing. He even checked in with me a weekend afterwards to ensure everything was working well. Priced very competitively, efficiently and nicely done. Highly recommended! read more

See all

Needed a repair on my leaking garbage disposal unit. Not only did Kumar show up within a couple of hours, but he diagnosed and fixed the problem within like 15 minutes; turns out the disposal was incorrectly installed before we moved in. He was able to repair it right then and then, saving me lots of inconvenience, potential damage and $$$. Absolutely would contact Kumar again if I need a plumber. read more

I called Kumar about a wobbly toilet and he was able to come the next day. He was very thorough with his explanations/options, honest, affordable and did a great job. Would highly recommend Kumar and will plan to go to him for any future needs! read more

Kumar has been very responsive and proactive in addressing our needs for vanity and faucets, providing multiple options and explaining pros and cons to make sure we found the best solution. He then followed the plan we agreed on and executed it just as described. We liked his work so much that we hired him again for another job. Timely, thorough, with fair prices, and a pleasure to work with - highly recommended! read more

Honest. Skilled. Patient. Gets the job done. At a recommendation from a friend, we called Kumar for help with our bathtub, and he not only fixed the problem we asked for, but predicted the next problem that would have happened if we had left it as-is, and took care of it at the same time. He's amazingly quick about getting necessary parts, listens to what you want, and you end up knowing more about the system you've got than when you started. Today - at the biggest cold snap, our heat went out, and he made the time for us, went way above and beyond to get the part, and got us up and running. Then, he made sure that we knew how to take care of any other issues that were happening because of the extreme cold. I cannot recommend Kumar enough - he's got the skills, the contacts, the speed, and apparently has the code memorized. read more

I had a bad leak in my shower. Kumar was responsive and upfront with estimations and options. He is very good at communicating the problem and the solutions. I had the issue resolved within a few hours after I called him, the job was done right. I highly recommend Kumar for any plumbing needs. read more

We had an emergency kitchen sink clog and stuck garbage disposal. Kumar gave generous troubleshooting tips over the phone and quoted at half the rate compared to the other plumbers I called. He got here super quick, was thorough in his diagnostics, and efficiently fixed my sink. His pricing is great and there were no surprises because he was transparent about the possible issues and their costs before he even showed up. We'll definitely call Kumar first for any future plumbing issues read more

Kumar installed a new Aquor Home Hydrant for us to replace an old leaking outdoor water bib. He did a fantastic job, and we will be calling him first for future plumbing needs. Out of all of the plumbers we contacted via Yelp, Kumar was the only one who gave us a written estimate, and did so without asking. He was very responsive, both in getting us the estimate, and with updating us on how far out he was from arriving to do the job. Frankly, we couldn't be happier with the work he did for us. He's highly recommended. read more

We are very happy with our choice to use Distinct plumbing and would recommend their services. Our garbage disposal broke and we needed it replaced. Kumar was quick to respond to my request, quick to set up a time to come, arrived on time and brought the replacement part with him which saved us a trip/ another visit. Very easy interactions and professional. Thank you! read more

Kumar was great to work with. We went in with a list of potential work from our home inspector, and Kumar was very honest in what could be postponed and what was important. He worked on a tough pipe replacement job for us in a very tight spot, with patience and good attention to detail. When the job ended up needing more than one day, he rearranged his schedule so that he could fit us in again the next day to finish. He's personable and respectful, and we'd highly recommend. read more

Made an emergency call on a Saturday due to strange smells coming from our basement sump pump area. Didn't end up needing Kumar's services, but pleasantly surprised and grateful for the generous time and effort he gave us over the phone and text (he had us send him photos) to help identify whether he would even need our services, esp. given the higher after hour fee he would have to charge on a Saturday. In the end, he recommended we contact our home's original sump pump installer due to having a specialty pump. But the peace of mind and faith in the goodness of humanity he gave me for no cost - priceless. Thank you, Kumar! read more

My shower had low water pressure since covid. We were hesitant to have anyone in the apartment last year so we waited. I contacted a couple different companies. Some never responded and others were ~250/hr. The owner offered a minimum rate for the job and told me the cost could be much higher depending on the work that needed to be done. We didn't know how long the repair would take so we opted to have him come out since we had a better idea of what we would be paying in the end. Both Kumar and his assistant wore masks, and I appreciated that they were willing to take off their shoes since we have some carpeting leading into the bathroom. Turns out my shower valve needed to be repaired. We were overtighting the valve when we shut off the water. It took him and his assistant about 45 minutes to repair the valve. We paid a reasonable price for the work that was done. Kumar is receptive to customer feedback and the customer experience is important to him. I would recommend his services. read more

I called Kumar yesterday with a priority (but not emergency) plumbing need. He was super responsive, very clear in all his explanations, and really easy to work with. 24 hours later and our problem is already fixed. Kumar worked with the city to shut off the water, making this zero stress for us. I selected Kumar based on other Yelp reviews and do not hesitate in recommending him - we will certainly be using him again if we have another plumbing need in the future. read more

Called them in the morning to fix a leaking sink and they got it done the same day and for less than their estimate.

Adding a second review in support of Kumar and his work following my initial review. I've had Kumar to my house twice since his first visit, both times he's been excellent. The first time was an emergency call to deal with an overflowing water issue in my bathroom that I came home to after a day out running errands. We had just been on the phone to set up an estimate for other work in my home and I called him back immediately seeing if he could stop by. Within 30 minutes on a Saturday evening, he was there, fixed the problem almost immediately, and then stayed longer to brainstorm next steps for addressing a larger plumbing issue he discovered in the basement. Kumar came out again today to do a massive job on the main plumbing line in my house - replacement/upgrade of pipes from a very old system. He showed up early, the work was very well done, he fixed another problem that I had with the old piping in my basement, and was professional in every sense. The price was more than fair for the amount of work (especially considering the cost of goods these days) and I didn't have to worry about a thing. And again - if the work wasn't already excellent work, Kumar is an exceptionally nice and direct person. I haven't had a problem talking out quotes and solutions to what I need to fix at my house, and that is really refreshing considering the runaround that other people have given me in the past. Hire with confidence. read more

Kumar and Angel are amazing. I was about to get a new induction stove and found out I needed to have the gas line disconnected before the delivery the next day. They were able to fit me in with very short notice and got it done quickly and professionally. They're also friendly and great at what they do. I'll definitely be thinking of them for my plumbing and heating needs in the future! read more

We were very happy with Kumar's Distinct Plumbing and Heating: they promptly responded to our call about a potential leak, managed to fit us in their schedule on the same day, and were very knowledgeable and helpful. read more
